Bangkok police defuse six bombs in the capital city

BANGKOK - Thai police said today they had found six potentially explosive devices in the capital city of Bangkok, said an AFP report. The devices have been defused. A suspect has been arrested for planting the bombs on an overpass, outside a bank and at a road intersection in the city's eastern suburbs. "So far six bombs were found at three locations," metropolitan area commander Major General Wichai Sungprapai told AFP. The authorities said the discovery followed a police investigation. Thai police had yesterday named 10 sites in the capital that could become targets of bomb attacks during the New Year celebrations, and said they will tighten security in the areas. AGENCIES
